Xbox backwards compatibility news: modern warfare finally joins list

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has finally joined the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility games list. One of the most sought after Xbox 360 games for Xbox One, the original Modern Warfare

received more than 126k votes to make it backwards compatible. Anybody who downloaded the game in the Xbox 360 era will find it in the 'My Games and Apps' section of the Xbox One

dashboard. If you've got a boxed copy of the game, you can install and play by inserting the disc. You can even purchase the game from the Xbox Store - and there's good news if you

do. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is currently available at a discounted price as part of the Xbox Easter sale. The news was announced by Xbox executive Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb

on Twitter. "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today (it is also on sale as part of the Xbox Spring Sale)." As part of the Easter Sale,

Xbox One users can pick up Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for £16.99. Xbox Live Gold subscribers can purchase the game for the reduced price of £14.99. "The new action thriller from the

epic title also features the added depth of multiplayer action for an all-new community of persistent, addictive, and customisable gameplay." CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE REMASTERED

TRAILER Fans will now be hoping that Microsoft will turn its attention to the original Xbox Backwards Compatibility list. While Microsoft is keen to assure fans that more games will be added

over time, Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently said that there are complications with certain licenses. "There are a number of OG games in BC pipeline, they won't drop as often as the

360 games but team is working to validate and get permissions," Spencer tweeted. "More complicated with some just due to the age of the rights etc." Original Xbox releases

joined the backwards compatibility lineup last year. Compatible games include Ninja Gaiden Black, Bloodrayne 2, Crimson Skies, Dead to Rights and Grabbed by the Ghoulies.
